The necklace consists of linked individual panels each containing a large, faceted clear paste rhinestone claw set in an open backed cage setting. The construction of the caged settings is really unusual and decorative. I think these stones are paste rather than rock crystal, though I have not tested them. I must confess I am struggling to date this piece. My guess is post-Georgian, so Victorian or Edwardian - apologies that doesn't narrow it down a great deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stones are gently graduated in size and are remarkably bright and sparkling - these open backed settings allow the stones to stay bright. This is a beautiful piece with a slim-fitting choker length of about 15 inches. It fastens with a pretty push-in box clasp hidden inside one of the jewelled panels with a closed back. The necklace is presented here in the hinged box pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in good vintage condition overall, though some of the cage settings are showing their great age a little with some tiny kinks and dents. The little strand of fine belcher chain have had the gilt rubbed a little and present with a more silver tone surface in some lights. Please look carefully at all the photos and close-ups and send me a message if there are any further pictures you would like to be taken.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61353736536394,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/2424\/4042\/files\/2026-03-1315.38.00.jpg?v=1773659775","url":"https:\/\/alicelily.co.uk\/products\/antique-paste-riviere-necklace-open-backed-gold-tone-brass-settings-beautiful-clear-paste-rhinestones-negligee-pendant-tassels","provider":"Alice Lily","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
